One day Henry is getting criticized from a bad VAR call and now Miller from 2 Orlando goals. First goal #2 runs over the ball handing it to the RSL forward and the second noone picks up a run to the top of the box. Neither can be pinned on Miller. Very harsh. His defensive partner was the one who got beat and failed to clear when he had the chance and #2 he let the low cross in but there were 3 defenders in the box....how do u blame him on that one? Jansson and Oneil are veterans that have played in europe. Funny how Lareya got blamed last week for losing the ball at the center line, not the guys who let the cross in.

Obinna Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Only watched part of the first half but Miller seems to have a lot of nice attributes. Nice to have an alternative to Cornelius in the left CB spot. Grandbloke and Free kick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baulderdash77 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 We took our best Defender, Henry out to let him get some burn. He did make a nice tackle and clearance in his limited opportunities that I saw. Its always good to see a young player earn his way into the program. I’m happy for Miller today.

Bison44 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Looks like his gold cup trip didnt hurt him at Orlando. Started last week and again today. Although Orlando does have some CB's out with injury. johnyb, apbsmith, king1010 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apbsmith Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) I felt Miller did solid in his first few games of 2019 and why he earned himself a late addition call for the injury replacement in the FG match for the CMNT. Is Shane O'neill hurt? sounds like Orlando's backline is lacking some depth so great opportunity for Miller to see the field. Hope he keeps crushing it.

nolando Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Was doing some reading on Miller. Love this article: http://dailyorange.com/2017/08/inside-kamal-millers-rise-to-college-soccer-stardom/ Sounds like a great young man. Soccer-wise I can see him leapfrogging the likes of Cornelius in the pecking order. red card, Ruffian, johnyb and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Looked like he might be on the bench with Jansson (C coming back from injury, but he came on at LB at half time last night. apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a big sign you have earned the manager's trust like that. Do you know if Orlando shifted the formation or the player's positions after he was subbed on at half? as in, did they actually play Millar at LB? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I am no tactical expert but from what you can see on the highlights it still looked like a back 4 after Miller came on. The back (2 CB and Ruan at RB) looked the same. apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 He had a solid game at LB against TFC on TSN last night. I was surprised at how often he did go forward and join in on the attack. He didnt look out of place at all. If he can fill in at LB as well that bodes well for him getting minutes the rest of the season.

Awww, come on, Endoh is active, trying to make runs etc, and can let a long shot go if you give him lots of space (I cant believe i am sticking up for Endoh). Delgado......100% black hole...and for a guy who always makes back passes he turns the ball over way too much. I cant believe we have CDN lined up in midfield waiting, while Delgado keeps getting starts. Chapman and Fraser should be getting a big chunk of his minutes.

PopePouri Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Fraser doesn't cover the same amount of ground and Chapman is not a DM. If you play Bradley or Fraser, you need a work-horse next to them to make up for their mobility deficiencies. That's Delgado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 So you dont think Chapman could have played in the middle next to Bradley last game? I'm sure he could have coughed up the ball just as much as Delgado. And it seems to me it was Delgado not covering much ground watching (or not watching) Michel sprint past him for the Orlando goal. Cripes Delgado has played FB for TFC, he should know better. He was dogging it back and ball watching and Vanney had him off the field in about 2minutes.

BearcatSA Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Miller's thumping challenge to win the ball off of Shaffelburg was a thing of beauty. I hope they keep him in the starting picture at LB. He might emerge as our guy in that spot. If he's got the quickness and the defensive IQ, he doesn't need to bring that much to the offensive side of things. apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how much Canada needs a decent LB, a reincarnation of Ante Jazic would be nice.

I don't want some guy out there who's going to have me holding my breath (or doing the late, great Graeme Leggatt sucking sound) any time an attack gets targetted in his area of the pitch. apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
